Invisible beams influence lyrics distance from staff
Steps to reproduce the issue:
1) Create blank sheet
2) Change lyrics position to "above" (Format > Style > Lyrics > Position)
3) Add some quaver notes such that when stems are aligned up, they extend top staff line (i.e. notes G-B-D'-F')
4) Add any lyrics to those notes
5) Enable stemless option in either staff (Staff / Part Properties > Advanced Staff Properties... > Stemless) or measure properties (Measure properties > stemless)
6) In the same measure add any notes as second voice
Expected result: distance between lyrics and staff, after performing step 6, stays the same, as nothing collides with the lyrics
Actual result: lyrics are moved up to make space for invisible stems.
Note the distance between "T-e-s-t" and staff in steps 5 and 6.
Comments
Confirmed. Problem seems to occur only if the notes are beamed. So, a workaround of sorts is to explicitly make the beams invisible, or you can manage to select them. Or, since it won't matter anyhow, apply "no beam" to all the notes on the staff.
adjusting title accordingly ;-)
Root cause is beams are created even when there is no stem. Should be straight forward to solve.
Working on a PR now.
